Beyond: The Queer Sci-Fi and Fantasy Comic Anthology by Taneka Stotts, Nicasio Andres Reed, Sfé R. Monster

5.0

This was so, so, so good. I grinned my way through it. There was humor, there was heartbreak, there was sweetness and sassery and sorcery! A few of the stories were a bit shaky in terms of storytelling clarity and pacing and in a couple of cases the art was a little less polished, but anthologies are kind of by definition a bit of a mixed bag in which not every story will appeal to every reader. And other than that I loved the heck out of this anthology and I want ten more. Fifty more! A HUNDRED! It also made me really want to work on my own LGBTQ scifi/fantasy comics in the hopes that they could some day be included in a future volume of Beyond! There are several comic artists and writers included in this anthology whose other work I will absolutely be tracking down.
